You probably made the right decision, under the circumstances. The procedure in the article will take several hours the first time you do it.

Did a fresh install from scratch - video and sound work now. Video over HDMI is still a problem - it can extend, but cannot duplicate. I see tons of others with the exact same problem on W10 and none of them had a resolution

In my desktop I have a GTX 745 adapter from NVidea. It has a VGA, a DVI and a HDMI output. Maybe I was lucky: Because I did not have HDMI cables, I connected my main monitor to the DVI output and the second monitor to the VGA output. Maybe I will have the same issue if I use the HDMI output? Who knows? However, the current setup works just fine. But I only run the monitors extended. Have not tried to duplicate them.
Did you update the video adapter to the latest driver?
Update: I tried to duplicate the monitors and it works fine. Do you have DVI and VGA outputs? You may be forced to go with those outputs until Microsoft or NVidea sort the issue out.
Anyhow: Welcome to the world of Windows 10!

Laptop only has HDMI. It's a known issue with NVidea cards with Optimus. The laptop display is on the Intel card and the HDMI uses NVidea. So duplicate won't work as neither card can see each other's monitors for the duplicate-scenario. Extend works as it always has. Freaking pain really. Specially if you want to do a presentation. You'd have to look at the projector to move the mouse!

Did duplicate displays worked before Windows 10? Sounds to me that you may be stuck with a hardware issue that will be difficult, if not impossible to solve?

Yeah, duplicate displays worked perfectly fine in Windows 7. It's not a hardware issue.
This is acknowledged in the Nvidea forums - multiple threads.
|
|
|
|
|
Then it most probably is the Windows 10 display driver. I regret but I cannot think of a solution for you, other than living with it or going back to 7 until the driver issue is sorted out. I would also report the issue to NVidea and the laptop manufacturer, if they are not already aware of it.

I have the same (Dell XPS 17) and I had no issues with the video and sound.
For the audio of HDMI, make sure you update your NVidia drivers as well, in case there were some issues with an older driver.
Let me know if you want any driver specifics from my system...

With my XPS the NVidea drivers that Windows 10 installed, seemed to work great, but when I checked for the latest driver, it turned out that Win 10 installed an older driver. But this is easily fixed! Just tell the OS to install the latest driver. There is really no need to go and drill for a driver on the Dell website.

Mine's 3 years old though, so specs may be older than yours.
The Nvidia drivers are installing but not sure if it got stuck or if it actually takes hours.

About the same age as mine. Came with Win 7 Home, and since then have upgraded to Win 7 Pro, Win 8 Ent, Win 8.1 Ent, and now Win 10 Ent.
Audio:
- NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) V 1.2.27.0
- Realtek High Definition Audio V 6.0.1.7544
Video:
- Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 V 9.17.10.4229
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M V 10.18.13.5560
I hope this helps...

Can you duplicate your laptop screen via HDMI on an external monitor or TV?
|
|
|
|

I have no idea when this disappeared (the duplicate screens option), but that is no longer available as an option that I can see on my machine. I know it was there and working when I had Win 8.x, but MS seems to have removed that option.

And yeah, duplicate works in 7 and 8.1 - won't work on 10. They must have changed how two cards interact together.

Surviving the World - Lesson 2713 - Dad Science, Part IV[^]
For some reason, I'm getting the feeling Cannonball doesn't believe her dad this time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Calendar does the same, but it also sends me reminders & emails, and generally makes every device I own go "bing bong" in the hope that one of them might reach me...
